I’m going to make a declarative statement, I wish the entire B12 was gone and all the dumb Px or Gx designations. Just play football. 

They made some ridiculous, contested shots yesterday and we weren’t hitting enough open ones. It was really that simple. VCU isn’t as good as we are but it was their night.

This was something different.  

Agreed. Said the same thing. Something wasn’t right at all.

Kentucky vs Oakland is what makes March Madness March Madness and I'm not so sure a first round UK vs OU draws that many more eyeballs. Maybe I'm different than most but when I'm bouncing around first weekend games for viewing, I pretty much always stop on the David vs Goliaths than the heavyweight bouts ...

100% agree. I’m the same way. I want to see the big upset. I can’t stand the entitlement of some of these programs. Makes me sick to my stomach.

Best combined football and basketball season I can ever remember.  I still have 3 kids living at home and typically they were uninterested when I would tune in a game.  That changed this year in both sports with all my kids excited to see USF on the TV.  Two of my three even went with me to Florida to watch the bowl game against Syracuse.  It was great.  Sure, we didn't make the NCAA and that stinks.  That aside, this was a great year and I always looked forward to the next game knowing the team would represent.  A lot of fun.  

That looked like our early season losses. Horrendous shooting, lackadaisical ball movement around the perimeter, and bad free throw shooting. We played as bad as we could play and still nearly pulled it out. When we shoot that poorly we aren’t very good. Miguel was a non factor and no one, other than Pryor, could hit a 3. Horrible game where it looked like we were just going through the motions. 

In my opinion, if this team isn't in the NCAA it will be a travesty.  I don't think I'm wearing Green and Gold glasses either.  You can't win this many games in a row and win the AAC regular season by this much and not be in.  I don't care what the "NET" says.  The only reason our NET is bad is because of early season games and if the committee can't see this and find a way to get us in then the whole thing is just silly.

The NET is a really stupid mathematical formula.  Unbelievable that this ranking is a big part of the determining factor of who gets in and who doesn't.  If USF wins out, by some miracle, and we aren't in it will be the biggest travesty I've ever seen.  Come on people spend a little more time and get this algorithm correct.

No Reid!! Dumb move. Ugghhh

Placer on queue with slow defense giving up an easy layup and a turnover. He adds zero if he isn’t shooting.

IMO when Placer is in the game I feel like it is a liability on defense and he seems to be a step slow.  Maybe he is still tentative with his hamstring, but I much rather have Reid out there and Placer should just be spotting up for 3's.  He is a great teammate though. 

I agree with this 100% and have been saying it for weeks. We are not as good with Placer in the game. He is a very streaky shooter and if he is ON then leave him in. If not, leave Reid in who is a better defender and excellent passer. We are generally better with Reid in.

They are really long and a big mismatch for our undersized team. We need to stop with the baby dunk attempts. Go up and into the body of the blockers. 

I was sure we would lose yesterday. We fumbled the ball around at times and weren’t as crisp as we had been but somehow managed to win! I’m starting to Bullieve!!

ECU is not good

Any road game in conference is tough. They have played many teams competitively and with us being at the top of the conference no one is looking past us. I think for a few games people thought it was cute but now there is a bullseye on our backs. Expect a tough game.

And after USF beats ECU & UNT this week. I’m going to go ahead & put them in my top 25….

If we win those we will deserve it. ECU is going to be very tough. Let’s start there.

Looks like around 25 minutes a game.    Not bad, he may provide the right spark coming off the bench.  Not a big deal

I’ve just noticed a big drop off in production and cohesion when he is on the bench. Hines isn’t a scorer, as was mentioned, so that threat is removed when he is inserted. Reid is also a very good defender and rebounder for his size. I just like the kid. I’d like to see him up to like 32 minutes a game. He can do it. Just some thoughts.

I’d like to see Washington win but for all the talk of the accuracy of Penix he overthrew a touchdown pass inside the red zone and a deep ball that would have been a TD had he been accurate. He’s off.

Hines is a Forward. If you're talking about bringing Youngblood off the bench, that ain't happening. Maybe start the kid, along with Miguel and Youngblood, in place of Knox but I think CAAR likes KK's D. Will also be Jennings to add to the guards also later on this month ...

Starting lineup of the 5 best players:

Youngblood, Miguel, Reid, Pryor and Knox

I don’t like Hines in the starting lineup and would rather run 3 guards than leave Reid on the bench.

He should be our PG as a starter. No reason why not. We are better with him on the floor. Bring Hines off the bench. Miquel as the 2-guard. 

This game was lost because we shot 40% from the line. Make 4 more and it’s tied. 5 more and we win. Very simple…lost at the line.

SMU would have given OU a better game than Liberty biberty

Absolutely true. Liberty did not deserve to play in that game. Their SOS was awful. 

10-2

No, he stays
